Credit: Andrea Piacquadio from Pexels Exercise testing can serve as a powerful physiologic probe to unmask subclinical cardiovascular abnormalities well before disease onset. For example, blood pressure changes during exercise (EBP) can reveal a latent tendency toward future development of hypertension. At present, there is no reliable circulating biomarker—a protein or other molecule present in the blood stream—indicative of hypertension risk. Investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) identified unique circulating proteins that reflect EBP, and that may in turn be early indicators of future risk of hypertension.
